present the greatest school for music In
the world, having four departments,
one for composition, one for sing
ing, one for instrumental music
and one for piano and organ. JOachien,
the greatest viOliniSt of the age, is at
the head of the Institution and Prof.
Rudorf, Herzhogenberg and Schulze,
and Engel are at the heads respectively
of the other departments. Mr.. Lienau
ago, and after having his ''metaP thor
vice of his teachers, concluded
to prepare himself as lyric tenor for the
operate stage. By dint of hard work he
has managed to reach the head of next
years graduating class of tenor singers,
and will have to take part in all the
operas that will be produced during the
next year by that class. To prepare for
an opera singer in Europe is no
child'S play. History of music,
theory of music, piano playing,
defamation, dramatic acting, German
and Italian languages, besides the COM
plete mastery of all important operas
are embraced in the study for that pro-
feSSiOn. Mr.. Lienau has convinced his
friends in st. Paul that if his health re-
mains his name will, in the near future,
be among the eminent stars on the lyric
stage. He will return in the middle of
next month to Berlin to resume his
studies.
The talented young man, whose fea-
lures are represented in the accompany
ing cut, is native of the land of Ole
Bull. He first saw light in the pictur-
eSque little hamlet of Mannestadt, two
miles south of Christiana, the capital of
Norway. August Aamold Is musician
by birth-right. He is of a family of
musicians, many of whom have made
the name famous. His uncle, Lars
Aamold, enjoyed the distinction of be-
ing the first violiniSt to be sent abroad
for musical education by the govern
ment of Norway, but he died just when
his future as master composer
had been fully established while study
ing in Dresden. When August was
eight years old his father emigrated to
America and settled In the village of
RuShford, Mimi. Under his tutelage
August commenced the study of the
violin at the age of ten. He continued
his practice under the guidance of a
local teacher at La Crosse, Wis, and
from there went to Milwaukee, where
he studied for two years under one
of the most noted tutors of America. In
1879 the young viOlinist came to st. Paul,
and since that year he has made this
city his home. He taught music and
his education in other lines
for five years when he was enabled in
1884, by a small legacy left to his father,
to contemplate a finished classical

HARVEST MOON RODE LOW.

As the harvest moon in the West rode low.
When the harvest songs were done,
With the sweetest of harvesters on | strolied
In the red of the dying sun.
She was fair enough to have crowned been
AS queen of the garnered store,
With shining wreaths and with dance and
songs.
AS in pastoral days of yore.
Not only because she was sweetest and best
But the readiest, nimblest one
That tossed the hay. or with cleaning Wisps
The bright sheaves bound in the sum
And now. as we strayed DER the silent fields.
When the world seemed hushed with hope
And the cows i'll the meadows still lettering
With the sheep on the distant slope.
She looked so fair, with her eyes downcast
And her cheeks with the suns brown stain,
And her tresses, stirred by the zephyr's kiss
More golden than all the grain.
That bent to her ear, and faltered low:
''Oh, fairer than any of old
Who as harvest nympns at the festivals
Were crowned with the rudy gold!
could you not be, oh, love, my love!
The queen of my life just now,
With this rudy wreath of the setting sun
Like halo upon your brow!n
Then the rosy blush of her winsome face
More sweet than the sunset seemed
Through tear-wet lashes that trembled low
Her beautiful darkeyes beamed;
And my next response was her heaying
breast
ma: And the touch Of her dainty palm.
Till seemed in the haryests of Eden climes-
In heaven of love and balm.
More slowly still, and with hearts a-thriIl. -
Thorough the golden fields we HE'D.
While the moon dipped lower, and all the
rose
From the glimmering sunset died.
But one by one in the blue black zone
OF the twilights shadowy hem
Flashed star upon star in clusters rare.
Like marriage diadem

PROFESSIONAL AND AMATEUR VICE

PROFESSIONAL AND AMATEUR WICK
ETS.
Driving a ball through an amateur
wicket is like going through barn
door. The strength and firmnesS of the
professional wicket enable the expert
player to utilize it often by striking the
wire with his ball and accomplishing
his design by the glancing of the sphere.
The balls are made of hard rub
Der and painted red, white, blue and
black: The balls are played in the order
III which the cOlOrS are mentioned.
There is no limit to the size of the NAL
let, but the heads are usually from eight
to ten inches long and the handles from
ten to twenty inches long. The heads
are sometimes made of solid rubber and
sometimes of lockwood, but both of these
materials are apt to break where, the
handle is inserted. The favorite mallet
is made by Norwich man named Col
burn. The middle section is made of
aramanth wood, upon the ends of which
are screwed hard rubber heads bound
with nickeLbands. the handles:are of
some hard wood, rOughened in order
to increase the firmness of the
hold. The only other implements of the
game are the clipS-Spring clOthespins
painted on one side the color of the cor
responding balls. Every player must
affiX his clip to his arch next in order in
course of play, before his partner plays,
with the painted side showing the direc-
ton in which he is going. The game
played under these circumstances is one
of pure science and strategy. The lat
ter is very noticeable element. For
instance, the amateur opens his game
by beginning to rub his wicketS; but in
the professional game, red (the opening
balD usually drives to one Of the lower
corners of the ground; white follows to
the other lower corner; blue then runs
down to red, and, if it hits, take it
back and goes on with the game, be-
ginning at the first wicket. If it misses
black plays, either to its partner white,
or to its opponents red and blue, by a
wire carom through the first wicket.
Some players make the wire earOm with
uniform success, and in encOuntering
such a one an opponent frequently
changes his tactics, preferring group
ing his balls on the border near, instead
of punching them at the lower corner. 4
Sometimes the third ball will run all the
wicketS in one play. The second ball,
rarely, If a,e ever attempts this. The
two things, namely, to nurse 4
the balls in PLAYING, keeping
them where he can utilize them in sue ],
ceSSive strikes, and, when he must
leave them. to place them in the most.
disadvantageous position for his adyerrsa
sary. One trick in the latter is wiring a,
ball so that wicket intervenes between
it and its opponent. The player of the |
wired ball has an opportunity of per,
forming the most interesting feat of
croquet slight of hand-the jump SHOT,
quick, hard, blow, the ball is made, to
Jump into the air and over the obstacle,
and. if properly aimed, go speeding for
its objective point. A player has been :.
seen to make his ball jump over the
stake and two wickets and 60 bowling
into the enemy's group of balls, spelling
his prospects of a long run in a jitfy.

course in his cherished profession.
That year he sailed for Europe, and
first in Paris, and later in Berlin, he
conquered the French and German
schools leaving the Berlin conservatory
three months ago a pronounced artist.
He sailed for America again with the
highest concentrations of the great
Joachim and has resumed his residence
in st. Paul. While in Europe, Aamold
appeared in public on several occa-
SiOnS at Berlin, Chfistiana and
Dresden, and received nothing but
praise from the ultra critical citizens of
the capitals. He made his first bow be-
fore st. Paul audience with Mr.. Lie
nau In the testimonial concert at Market
hall, and surprised the audience with
his beautiful rendition of some of the
most difficult compositions. Prof.
Aamold is young man yet. only TWEEN

many charming pieces.

SCIENTIFIC CROQUET.
1t Is Played Now so That Chance
Is Eliminated and Skill Is SUI


preme.
Boston Herald
When DR.. Guyard, to provide recrea-
ton for his patients and invalid charges
at Pau. the celebrated watering place in
Southern France, first invented croquet,
he probably little thought that it would
develop into the purely scientific game
that the professional knight of the NAL
let plays to-day. For the past four years
the national Journeys have been held at
Norwich. The grounds are the best in the
United States. They are five in num-
Der. Each croquet court is S0x45 feet in
size. Although they are not all on the
same level, each one is as level as a
civil engineers transit can make it.
The grounds are Illuminated by electric
light, so that games are played by night
as well as by day. Upon such a ground
as that, with chance eliminated, the
wicketS are much narrower than those
used by amateurs on grassy lawns. The
more than 3s4 inches in diameter, and
the cage wickets must not be more than
81 inches in diameter. AS the ball is
81 inches in diameter, the reader
may gather an idea of the difficulty of
driving ball through one by CHANGING
at the accompanying illustration. If this
does not convince him let him try
the feat with mallet, ball and wicket,
and he will appreciate the skill required
to run wicket ON "a professional
ground. These wickets are made of
steel wire, three-eighths of an inch in
diameter, firmly set in blocks of wood
imbedded beneath the surface. For
comparison between the manner of set
ting and the size of the professional and
amateur. wicket both ARE given in the

the desired information, but would do
so as soon as the explanatory letter was

after they had started OH their travels.
The impecunious wife-hunterS of Eng

something happened. Nobody knew
exactly what, but the house in Belgravia
was given up and the young sisters be-

the ladies disappeared like snowfiakes
beneath the sunshine. Then the true
solution of the riddle was whispered
about the London clubs and drawing

invalid husband had never existed.
Neither of the ladies had ever been le-

An Adventures in London.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
There was an American adventures
in London during the present season,
who avenged some of the wrongs in
fiicted by the English traveller on long
suffering American society. The lady
in question was young and handsome
and presumably wealthy. She came to
London early in the spring. accom-
panied by lovely young sister. and
also, it was said, by an invalid husband.
Nobody ever saw the latter. He was
said to be in such wretched health that
he never left his own room even to take
his meals. The lady took house in the
most fashionable quarter of London, en-
tertained superbly and was very much
admired. The pretty sister became en-
gagged to young American gentleman
who was resident of London.
Then the wife, with her invalid
and invisible husband, went off to the
